The Seed Biotechnology Center at the University of California, Davis has organized a professional development course to teach the principles of plant breeding to seed industry personnel. This two-year course addresses the reduced numbers of plant breeders being trained in academic programs. Participants meet for six, 6 day sessions over two years in various locations. Readings and exercises continue between sessions via internet to allow participants to maintain their current positions while being involved in the course.
